That’s actually ridiculous unless your horse has a health issue like arthritis. How patronising to call you a ‘bigger girl’ too. Rude.I’m UK and yep, size 14 on a 16.3hh ISH. To be fair, I’m at that age where it’s difficult to shift weight despite exercising outside of having horses, but yep, I was referred to as a bigger girlit’s fair enough - I’ve weight to shift but I was surprised as I’m also 5’10 so not short and stumpy!
She has jumped plenty of clear rounds at 100 SJ
And has done today. There's nothing wrong with wanting to challenge yourself. If she did the 90 again everyone would call her a trophy hunter like they did Meg I don't think she's that bothered about placing and prozw giving, more so it was gutting that she was so close but didn't manage it!
To be fair, her results sound much more impressive than they actually are when you look at them more closely. He classes are small, she competes at the very lowest levels in the lowest section imaginable.
Kitty King is an obvious omission but I’m not sure how you choose between them. I think she deserved a spot but then so do the other 4 there. I Wish they would bring back the squad of 5.
He’s no angel that’s for sure and I’m not a fan of his, but this podcast is way out there and I would listen with caution. They miss out a lot of facts that don’t fit their narrative and clearly don’t have a clue really about how the sport works. I certainly wouldn’t use this podcast to form opinions.
I hope for her everything goes well and motherhood is everthing she wants. But also that she uses this as an opportunity to reduce the amount of animals she has and bring some stability to her life.
How the pony doesn't have laminitis yet is a miracle - plus still having hard feed. The crest on her looks rock solid, she is seriously overweight. At what point does the yard manager make a judgement call and say to the owner - restrictive strip grazing or if that's not possible muzzle the pony at least.
It’s definitely quite odd to want a baby while your parents are still young and around rather than wanting to have baby with a partner. Fair enough if she was much older but there would still be plenty of time at her age.
the tall, toothy girl who wears a lot of make up and appears in some of their stories etc (think she was at Emily’s hen do?) she is a “luxury lifestyle” influencer (puke).
I’m actually glad he’s not running the horse, nice to see that rather than him flogging an exhausted horse home as we’ve seen before. If he’s happy to do that in public I dread to think what he’s like behind thr scenes.
He hasn't had the prep runs from his absess and then the poor start to the spring season, and so to rush and get that last Olympic qualification wouldn't be fair on Thomas, who at 17 and already a gold medal winning horse doesn't need the stress. He's being aimed at burghley instead as he has a good record thereThink Meg was posting about Bolesworth too so I assume she was going... but idk how this poster would get the £10k figure, might have just made it up.
Ollie Townend has withdrawn Ballaghmoor Class from Olympic contention. After not running at Badminton - wonder if something more serious is wrong with him?
